Flower is here for #whiskerswednesday .

This was a contender for the Christmas card, but NOT chosen. This will be Flower’s first year on the Christmas card as “permanent family member.” Last year her status was “foster recovering from injuries” & not included.

Flower is a black and white cat. She is sitting upright on a ruggable with green leaves on it. She is posing for the camera.

Copper Beech bonsai is waking up and looking fine.
I've been moving it in and out of sun and wind with the messy spring weather. Now, I just hope the new growth hardens up before the next storm.

Serious threat to ICE & US Border Patrol agents

Cartels alleged put out rewards for hits on ICE/USBP

Will DHS make public any of the intel supporting this claim-even highly sanitized info?

At least info on number of gang/cartel members busted during on-going raids?

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

On a Saturday night I stumbled across something on the internet that made me feel like ****** my pants. A giant dataset of real surveillance operations targeting 1000s of people across nearly every country. Unraveling it and the mysterious company behind it has consumed 1.5 years of my life

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! 🤗A day to celebrate #WomenInSTEM 🎉, named after ‘poetical scientist’ #AdaLovelace, who in the 1840s (!) envisioned machines that could compose music, draw & calculate, & who wrote what’s considered the first algorithm for a computer: 100 years before they existed!💻
